In early 20s, I focused on bright and refreshing roles like my public image. I'm originally lazy so if I keep going this way, I'll be trapped. Even for new offers, I'd satisfy with template-like roles. But I don't want to be such an actor.
So I decided to try genres that I haven't touched before and put a load on my late 20s. I think this experience would lead my 30s and beyond. Every time I get something different, I feel very fulfilled.
Q: So, what do you aim for next after 30s?
A: I will work for my 40s.
His Kanji to describe 2020 is 「忍」

N-mane about Tori's mom
During the first meeting with his mother, she told N-mane:
"Tori is a "half-hearted" person, (sometimes done things not very serious). I don’t want you to make him more famous, but I hope he can be a proper person.
(cont.)
>> If he had a little bit of temper or if he didn’t do it right or said something wayward, please do not hesitate to scold him.
After that, she often asked me "Did my Tori do anything wrong?"
His mother is really a serious and very detailed minded person.
1. A sinful "voice" that you will never forget once you hear it.
[1-1] Personally speaking, I think the moment I got hooked on Tori Matsuzaka was his voice. Not to mention his good acting and good looks, but even after watching the movie, his voice remained in my ears.
[1-2] Low, thick, yet memorable scoop of sweetness. When I watch Tori Matsuzaka's work, I naturally fall in love with it, and now I have sharpened my senses of both "watching" and "listening" when I encounter his work.
Tori Matsuzaka's manager on his marriage
- ManeTsubu
As many of you may already know,
Today, Matsuzaka reported his marriage.
Since it's private matter, I think Matsuzaka will talk about
his feelings someday in his own words, so I will refrain from doing so here.
Today is the day I thought that congratulatory emails and phone calls that you'll receive all the time.
Warm comments from everyone on Matsusaka's SNS and countless "Congratulations"
I realized it again that Matsusaka's path.
I remember....
His debut, ShinkenRed, where many children and mothers cheered us on.
The first time in a variety show where he could hardly speak.
The promotion of his first movie which was the day when Kirin Kiki scolded him because he couldn't say the highlights of the work.
Q: SInce you like movies, is there any recommended work?
A: "Manchester by the Sea (2016)" is my favorite work I've watched many times. Actually, I rewatchd it before shooting "Any Crybabies Around?".
Q: Any recent impression of works (movie/ books/ music)?
A: Mikako Brady's book (ぼくはイエローでホワイトで、ちょっとブルー)
